🟡🚶‍♂️ Day Trip & Hike: Canterbury City Centre, Riverside & Stour Valley

A walk through the historical town of Canterbury and a hike via the River Stour and nature reserve. Canterbury was a pilgrimage site in the Middle Ages, with ancient walls, originally built by the Romans, encircle its medieval centre with cobbled streets, timber-framed houses and Canterbury Cathedral which was founded in 597 A.D. We return to the town at the end of the hike (explore a little more/relax or gab a treat)
